15 Fun Facts About My Kids

15 Fun Facts About My Kids – February 2012

Feb 16th 2012

My children are growing and changing so fast, I can hardly keep track anymore. All the sudden, my 5 year old has started looking and sound like a KID. Only a year ago I still thought of him as a toddler. My daughter will be 10 months old next week, and Jules will be 4 years old in May. Part of the reason I blog is to keep a diary on my kids’ development, but life gets away from me and I forget to document every little thing. (Proof: when I first published this post, I said “February 2011.” Apparently I still think it’s last year.) So today I want to leave record of the 15 little fun facts about my kids that stand out to me right at this moment. At the bottom, I want to invite you to blog about the same thing and link us up to it.

15 Fun Facts about the C-C Kids:

• Jules will only wear Super Hero shirts right now. If they are dirty, he has a nuclear meltdown, so I bought him a few more to get us through laundry day.

• Jonas wakes up excited about school every single day. It’s his favorite place in the world.

• The blackened skin from Jolene’s belly-button cauterization just FINALLY fell off. It only took 9 months. Sheesh.

• Jules will only eat two food groups: Dough & Dairy. He lives on bread, bagels, yogurt, cream cheese, and any combination of those things. He also likes strawberries and bananas. He gets lockjaw if I try to slip any sort of vegetable in his food.

• Jonas’s two favorite foods are sandwiches with banana peppers, and Chow Mein noodles.

• Jolene literally eats more table food at dinner than her two brothers combined. She’s a tiny horse.

• Jules’s favorite color is purple. Jonas’s favorite color is blue. Life revolves around giving them objects in these two colors.

• Jonas got a fish tank for Christmas. He (unwittingly) named most of the living and non-living residents after characters in Reservoir Dogs (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, etc.) We laugh about this.

• Jules got to name the purple fish, and dubbed it “One Purple Cracked Egg.” We have no idea how he came up with this.

• Jolene has two bottom teeth and a top one just popped in. She’s working on breaking the neighboring top tooth, and it’s making her M.A.D.

• Jules is convinced that they’re going to put him in the 4 yr old room at preschool the day he turns 4. It’s going to break his heart when they explain he has to wait until next year.

• Jolene is pulling herself up on to her knees now. I predict that she’ll be pulling all the way up to standing within the next few weeks.

• Jonas can read short words now, and he does so every chance he gets. When we’re driving, he reads signs. I vividly remember doing this when I was his age, and it makes me smile.

• I can tell Jonas misses me when I’ve been busy with school and homework. He sits next to me and puts my arm around his neck. I have to chase Julesy down for hugs.

• Both the boys are still madly in love with their sister, and she adores them too. They sit and play with her while I take a shower or make food.
